Assassin Heroine's Blush Charms Viewers! Her Feelings for the Protagonist Revealed: "Surprisingly Pure" and "Super Cute" - Anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" Episode 4

Episode 4 of the anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" has been airing since August 2nd. The seemingly cool Anemone (voiced by Hitomi Ueda) was revealed to be "really into" the protagonist, making viewers' hearts flutter with comments like "surprisingly pure" and "super cute with her blushing face."

Anemone is a cleric in the party of the hero Toto (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi), but her true identity is a top-notch assassin aiming for his life. She is sharp-eyed, fond of alcohol and money, and a heavy smoker.

In episode 4, titled "The Shy Hero and The Promotion Quest," during a drinking session, Gore (voiced by Haruka Shiraishi) pointed out to Anemone and Ciel (voiced by Iori Saeki), "You both like the hero, don't you?" When Anemone and Ciel denied it with "Huh?" and "No way," Gore suggested, "Then why don't we all say how much we like him on the count of three?"

Anemone initially showed reluctance, saying, "Who would say that, idiot," but eventually agreed to participate. On the count of three, Gore said "secret," Ciel said "2," while Anemone said "51." Gore teased her saying, "Wow, you like him a lot, Mone-chan!" to which Anemone blushed and replied, "No, it means it's neither like nor dislike, just halfway!"

Seeing Anemone blushing and flustered, the internet buzzed with comments like "surprisingly pure," "super cute with her red face," "51 is high, lol," and "Anemone seems to really like the hero."
